You Who Were Once...

You who were once Free, free for what?

Free for new hopes, for new dreams

for failures and despairs

For unknown beginnings and  known ends,

and attachments leaping.

 

For youth and love, and common keeping?

And now you are perfectly folded

making yourself weather-proof

Free too then from too much feeling?

 

You who were once bold, bold for truth!

Bold enough to trust the trust worthy

Liberal in mind, free to desire

 

May be deep down you were never free or bold

May be it was just the magic of my love

My so called independent human angel.

You are not free, not independent

You too are enslaved by insecrurities

afraid of giving your heart to me

You can never understand, what it is in me, for you

You are not free enough to lay trust on illumination,

to choose the darkness, or the light?

Thoughtful piece. I love the way you started this poem with a question. Indeed, that was worth pondering upon. Then it's good that that same question was answered in the fifth stanza. I think it's true that we are 'too enslaved by insecurities'. Great job! :x
